My DS is 2.10 now and I'm sure he's physically ready to potty/toilet train. (for ages has gone off on his own to poo, and mentions when he's doing a wee) I would have started earlier but have had severe hyperemisis for several months and am getting worried I've missed the best window of opportunity!
I've done everything by the book - let him choose potty/pants, read the 'Pirate Pete' story more times than I can remember, talked about using the potty/toilet. We had a go a few weeks ago but he got really upset when he had accidents and I didnt want to push it, so thought would leave for a while.
I started to talk to him again about it last week - saying next week we'll try the potty/toilet, wear big boy pants...etc etc but when I try and put the pants, or even a pull up on he gets so upset and starts crying no, I want my normal nappy. Whenever I ask him if he'd like to use the potty/toilet, or if he needs to then he just says 'no thank you mummy' - at least he's polite I suppose!!
DH says just leave it, he'll do it in own time - but new baby due in June, and he's 3 in May so am feeling time pressured. Anyone got any ideas/suggestions they'd be much appreciated.
